Embattled Bears running back Cedric Benson had every chance Wednesday to snap back at his critics, a group that has grown stronger over the last few weeks after his May 3 arrest in Texas for boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest. Yet his only oral jousting after the day's organized team activities came with a smile that no doubt made some wonder why he is the least bit giddy. "Yeah, it'd be nice to go on and get [the case] cleared up, but you know, I don't really spend much time thinking about it at all," Benson said. "The truth will come out some time, now or a year from now or whenever." Through it all, Benson has received support from his teammates.

truth is: you were in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing, and opened your mouth at the wrong time.

As a lifelong bears fan! I want this guy gone. He done nothing since he been in Chicago accept talk junk!

Just another in a LONG series of running back busts for the Bears. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

How come none of those "videos" have come out yet?

May 22, 2008  09:01 AM ET

quoting the x files is so-o-o 20th century...

Benson, the truth has come out - you are not too bright.

May 22, 2008  09:40 AM ET

I wish they would have tazed him too.

You are really are guilty until proven innocent. He may not have done all of the right things on the field, but lets give him the beneift of the doubt on this off the field stuff.

this dude has been in so much trouble here in Texas.... none of his teammates liked him.... he said he would rather win the heisman than beat OU (indicator) numerous off the field incidents that were covered up here... and he's just a flat out jerk..... normally, my blackness (dave chapelle) would not allow me to say the cops did it (APD is a racist group tho) but I don't believe this cat at all.... he has a drinking prob and is a coke head on top of that......

and u let thomas jones go for this chicago?

The only truth that matters to Bears fans is that Benson s*ucks as a running back! Anything he does or doesn't do away from his game here we could care less about.

All we want to know is: Can Benson run the ball?
The answer is: No!

May 22, 2008  11:36 AM ET

yeah but all t5at off the field stuff takes a toll on you as a teammate

May 22, 2008  11:43 AM ET

Basically, I'm black and the cops were racists. What do you expect in Texas?

May 22, 2008  12:09 PM ET

The truth will come out...just as soon as he finishes helping OJ find the real killer!

May 22, 2008  01:01 PM ET

At least T&R put a better picture of him

May 22, 2008  01:19 PM ET

Maybe in his spare time he could help O.J. search for the real killer.

He's been pulled over on Lake Travis like ten times in the last year for no reason. I think he finally got sick of being harassed by the CRPA. And they do harass everybody under the age of 50, in a nice boat with hot young white women of board while every geriatric in sight cruises blind drunk in their '52 Sundancer with a vat of scotch( scotchy scotch scotch......here it goes down......down into my belly) in hand. The cops are more age biased than racist. They're still a bunch of a holes

Guilty people always give up the fight.

Cedric,

Is is true you were intoxicated? Who cares?
Is it true you were driving your boat erratically? Who cares?
Is it true you were combative with the police? Who cares?

Is it true you cried out - in a high-pitched, effeminate voice - "Mommie! Mommie! I want my mommie!!"? That's what we want most to know!
